When I was growing up, I knew things—things a child of 8
or 12 didn’t typically know in the mid-60s. I knew there was
life many places other than earth; I knew that death was not “the
end,” but a transition; I knew I had lived in a place where
dragons exist; I knew I was not “just a child who was too
young to know what she was talking about.” I knew I was wise
and had more information than I had accumulated in my brief time
here. I knew I was powerful, but did not understand why (light).
I told people what I knew and, even at that young age, I knew that
I knew that what I knew was the truth!

People often questioned how I knew what I knew. I didn’t
know how I knew—which didn’t lend much credibility to
my knowingness—but I always knew that what I knew was absolutely
true. As a result, my parents labeled me a “know it all.”
I didn’t understand why because I didn’t know it all
and didn’t claim to know it all. However, I did know that
what I said I knew, I knew was the truth. Divine truth. Absolutely
without a doubt truth. Bet my life on it truth.

In my 40s I met Doreen Virtue and soon thereafter read her book,
Divine Guidance, in which she explains the four major clair senses.
She talked about claircognizance and how people who receive divine
guidance or psychic information through claircognizance—clear
knowing—are often labeled “know it alls.” I laughed
out loud! Finally, I understood how I knew what I knew AND how I
knew it was the truth. Excitedly, I called my Mom. “Hey, Mom.
You know how all my life you said I’m a ‘know it all?’
Well, I just found out you were right (I wasn’t often willing
to admit she was right so she was speechless as I finished)! I AM
a know it all because I’m claircognizant!” (which I
followed with an explanation). She was no where near as amused as
me!

Claircognizance, once understood, is possibly the least challenging
of the four major clair senses because it simply is what it is—clear,
absolute knowing that you know what you know is truth. The frustration
I experienced before understanding I was claircognizant and what
that meant resulted from not knowing where the information I knew
came from and from not knowing how to explain (justify) how I knew
it. I couldn’t answer the much asked question, “How
do you know that?” My consistent respond was, “I don’t
know, but I know that I know it and it’s true.”
Often someone would ask me a question to which I’d reply,
“I don’t know.” Then, moments later, I’d
say, “Oh! I do know. The answer is . . . .” And, yet,
I didn’t know how I suddenly knew the answer or how I got
the information. What I did know was that the information was correct
and I was steadfast in my knowingness that it was true. Conversations
typically went like this: “Did you remember you knew that?”
My response: “No. I didn’t know it until just now.”
“Well, how do you know it now?” And, once again, I’d
have to respond, “I don’t know how I know it; I just
know it’s true.”

So, now that I understand how I know the information, there’s
still no “tangible proof.” For me, the “proof”
is in my knowingness that what I know is true. I realize that doesn’t
lend credibility to the issue for most people. Nonetheless, understanding
claircognizance and learning what it meant was life-changing. I
truly owned my knowingness and understand and accept that I know
that I know what I know.
